NLC: Unusual Spots

[Dominic]

Spotted a Vauxhall Cavalier Convertible on my morning commute. Looked almost dainty amongst the traffic - despite is massive bling alloys which gave it a ground clearance a defender would be proud of.

So it wasn't Value For Money then?

Not at £1500, with no NCT (MOT), crusty rear arches, mouldy interior, and a potential VRT bill of £170 outstanding...(!)

There was a Mk1 Cav at the auction I was at on Saturday - Went for just over £1k, which didn't seem bad, as it was a solid old bus - Not sure about the MX5 wheels it was sporting!

Ah, the mk1 Cavalier. That's what my first car was, at the age of 14. Paid £40 for it. Baldy tyres, rwd and a farm to play on. Happy days

Very unusual.. Just saw a Bugatti EB110 GT in Forfar. Colour was Bugatti Blue and it had an expensive looking BUG number plate so I assume it was genuine. Never seen one before

Apparently there's going to be one at Alford Speedfest in a fortnight - The same car?

I presume that it's the same one that will be at Alford and only Facebookers will be able to see the picture.

[renmure]

That's the one. BUG 55
Not sure if that is how I would spend upwards of £350k but I guess the chances of meeting another one on the road are slim

[Ferg]

That's one of my old school faves! But yes, now days there's more attractive options.

Believe it belongs to a member of the local garage owning family - with the Classic Car business in London?

[C7Steve]

Probably a kit and it's really a MR2.

Nice car though.

Yup, my Dad is an old school pal of the father - who recently sold his ex-Duncan Hamilton/Le Mans C-type to a chap in Oz, flown by cargo plane

Managed to spot this old boy on Sunday:


Loving those skinny tyres and geographic wheel trims

Saw that on Saturday just outside Perth- took me by surprise!

I have also seen recently what I think was a Ferrari Mondial Convertible in Edinburgh (horrible looking thing with wierd proportions), and a very early 911 in BRG (looked lovely and delicate) on the Forth bridge.

[Dominic]

Was out for a wee run with IanD this morning and spotted (and got a wave from) a Porsche Carerra GT. Looked impressive. First time I have seen one in the flesh.

We managed to see a Messerschmitt in Edinburgh today whilst out in the Spyder.

Cracking looking car
